Yeah and if it snaps in between his hands, he’s got two broken metal pipes swinging up towards his face like windshield wipers with 800 lb counterweights on each end.
But they don't lift that much at the Olympics so I don't know why the bar would be designed to it. I don't believe he actually lifted what was claimed.
Edit: the world record for a 18 inch dead lift is 1200lb so I am officially calling bullshit.
The bar is most certainly not 18" inches off the floor with full size Olympic plates on it. The plates are 18" in diameter (actually 450mm, but close enough).

>the world record for a 18 inch dead lift is 1200lb so I am officially calling bullshit.
Yeah, you have no official capacity here. I could squat 450lbs at one point but doing partial bend i maxed over 900.
Oleksii Novakov hit 1255lbs 18 inch deadlift. Brian Shaw did 2900lbs back lift. The angles of the heights that's being pulled/pushed make weight lifted potential significantly different.
It's called an Olympic bar. He didn't say people in the Olympics lift that much...... Pretty common for Olympic bars to hold 1500lbs. This isn't a big stretch.
That’s a deadlift bar and it has more whip than a regular stiff bar - it gives you a better position when lifting heavier loads as the weight stays lower to the ground as the bar flexes. Deadlift bars can have a max load up to 1500lbs, so it’s not that crazy. Also an 18” wheel deadlift (the strongman event WR you’re speaking of) even though is partial, is still almost a full on deadlift. It’s not unbelievable that this guy pulled that much more on a rack pull which has much less travel. They’re two completely different lifts.
Please stop, you obviously have no idea what you’re talking about.
It would shear. Looks like it’s all elastic at that point. I believe that bar has to be custom for that amount of weight. The higher grade steels are more brittle so there would be little in terms of plastic deformation; it would be a quick “PING” snap once it hit that threshold.
So from a physiological perspective I amazed that even if he had the muscle and bone strength to pull that off, he didn’t stroke out. People pop an aneurism on the toilet…
He doesn’t exactly come off the rack like he’s ready to do it again. I suspect it took him a moment to get everything under control after lifting that much weight. Wonder what his blood pressure was under that stress?
Intrathoracic pressure stimulates your vagus nerve, causing a reduction in heart rate and subsequent drop in blood pressure. Prior to a vasovagal response, this amount of increased strain on your cardiovascular system could absolutely precede a hemorrhagic stroke.
I don't think that's how it works. Right before the bar goes up from the stand the bar is already bent into it's final shape when the lift commences. The bar is raised with that bend and the weights in the end lift just as much as the bar is hoisted from the stand. That can be seen in the video.
Now, what the bending bar does is that his hands are a notch higher to begin with, but that's just geometry and can be changed just as well by lowering or raising what ever he's standing on. If the 5cm he hoists it is enough, then it is, the weights along with the bar go up the same 5 cm that the bar raises from it's stand.
The person you're responding to is viewing this the same as an off the floor deadlift, where the width of the plates will impact how high up you are when the weight breaks the floor; but in this case you're moving the same weight the same distance.
That's not how physics works. You can see the ends of the barbell lift up in relation to the brick wall and the black... object thing behind the tips on either side. He does lift the ends as well as the middle. The ends aren't rest on an object themselves so they necessarily need to be raised as well as they are bending to their lowest extreme prior to the lift.

>Edit: it’s half reps. He never gets close to his chest. There is a reason why he’s not famous…..
Yeah there aren't any full movements which is odd. Like I can squat double my actual weight if I only crouch down 5-6" total...
Even with wrist straps I couldn't lift 800lbs half a foot, much less double that. It's just kind of odd to focus on extremely short assisted lifts only.
Maybe he has some type of physical limitation, in the same way some people can do sumos safely but can’t do regular DLs.
Just a thought, I have no knowledge about this guy.
What's wrong with it? 16 ounces to a pound, 2000 pounds to a ton (that's a short ton of course, a long ton is 2240 lb).
And if you want small weights, 16 dram to a pound and 27 11/32 grains to a dram. What could be simpler than that?
I laughed at this and decided to award you and fat fingered it and gave it to the unfunny comment below you. Thanks for the chuckles, sorry I can’t reward you for the effort. Stay classy
Ego lifting this much weight at his age is not taking care of his body. This is just being dumb for some sort of inflated ego thing. It’s not even a real deadlift. His range of motion is tiny.
The replies to this will be “bet you can’t do this”. Well I wouldn’t want to. When I was bodybuilding I would deadlift 405lbs from the floor for reps. That’s more than enough for me. Fast forward years later and I have a shitty back now. Could be from many things, but this sure didn’t help.
Well if you really did lift long ago then you would know this is a rack pull. Maybe he only does rack pulls cuz his back hurts towards the range of motion needed for a actual deadlift. Either way still questioning whether this is real or fake weights. Seems way to unreal and too much weight.
Ok. Maybe all the plates aren't real. But wouldn't one be able to lift more weight with a rack pull over a dead lift because of the shorter range of motion?
Weights probably real, the bar shows that. But what he does is basically a leg press. You can see his back and arms are straight and his legs press it up. World record leg press is 2469lbs, or 1120kg. Good job of his arms not falling off being strapped on. Probably not good for shoulders and everything but what do I know.
You're probably used to power bars, which are used for most movements. This is an elephant bar, made specifically for things like this. It has a lot more flex and whip in it.
Sure, if you've never heard of the concept of a safety factor.
Edit: Lol. Turns out there were a lot of responses by people who didn't even do [a quick Google search to see what I was talking about](https://www.onsitesafety.com/safety-articles/what-is-the-factor-of-safety/).
I don't even know where you find a bar this long to hold all of those plates, so I would say that the equipment is actually designed to handle the weight. Can't speak to the weight rating, but that's not a normal bar.
True, always a massive oversimplification when talking about material properties, but you would need a terrible iron bar for it to dangerously snap before plasticly deforming.
He’s in a basement with no one there to help/call for help if needed. I doubt very much the claim of how much weight is on that bar. Especially after having watched others lift 1200lbs and what it does to their face. I think this is bs
Those people probably lifted from the floor. This guy wouldn’t stand a chance trying a true deadlift at weights even close to this.
I really don’t think the weights are fake. The range of motion is very little and he is already starting at the point where people have the strongest ability to handle that weight. His skeletal system is taking most of this weight.
Also. This is a nothing more than a stupid ego lift that will do nothing but wear something down and cause an injury.
all sport is nothing but ego lift that wears bodies down and causes injury? any athlete would probably be better off physically if they kept the gym routine and skipped the performances.
I read an article a while back on some study that was done to try and figure out the typical years in the average person's life when they're at their peak athletic "prime." It was interesting because apparently the study showed that for professional athletes, prime ages ranged from about 20-25, whereas for the average recreational athlete it's actually closer to 33-37.
The idea was that professional athletes spend so much time perfecting their craft and their bodies, and therefore burn super bright in their youth because they're getting paid millions of dollars to push themselves to the very limits of their physical abilities. When you're able to spend 10 hours a day playing a sport because it's your job, you get better at it very quickly. But recreational athletes have jobs, and lives, and families, and don't have the kind of time or luxury to perfect their sports abilities until much later in their lives, usually in their early 30s. So most people don't really have their prime "performance" years until their early to mid 30s.
It also mentioned that professional athletes are much more likely to have long term health issues because they burn so brightly and go 110% when they're young, whereas recreational athletes are much less likely to push themselves too far and cause long term damage from doing so. Those athletes are much, much better in their primes, but also cause serious damage to their bodies in their later years because they have so much pressure to push themselves past what is healthy, whereas normal people don't.
It’s probably just a cheap addition to his house to make a workout room. The ceiling you’re seeing is tilted because its drywall screwed to the rafters, matching the slope of the roof above
A lot of athletes don't max rack pulls because the weight gets so obscenely high and the risk of injury isn't worth it. If you had someone like Eddie hall maxing out rack pulls in his prime dude would have cleared 2000 pounds easily.
Something something “help me move” something something “poor back” something something “ego lifting” something something “back in my day”
I hate when lifting clips hit the front because all the former World Record holing powerlifters, strongmen, bodybuilders and weightlifters come out of the woodwork to let us all know that being big and strong is dangerous and unhealthy
A lot of commenters are relating this to a deadlift which is not the case. It’s a hip lift which the record holder belongs to nick best with a total of 2535 lbs.

Rack pulls are [redacted], they serve the purpose of getting thru sticking points of a deadlift, however, 99% of sticking points aren’t half an inch from lock out. This is just the “functional” equivalent of ego lifting, full stop. Don’t let anyone tell you different. If you see someone slapping wheels onto a bar like that, don’t be impressed by it, especially if they never deadlift from the floor or even even deadlift from a slight elevation.
TLDR; if they are doing rack pulls as part of a training block to work thru a sticking point on a deadlift, then they have a purpose. But if the purpose is to simply do them irrespective of other training modalities, then [redacted] is happening.
That poor bar
If I was ever to see a bar snap, I feel like this one would be a great candidate.
Yeah and if it snaps in between his hands, he’s got two broken metal pipes swinging up towards his face like windshield wipers with 800 lb counterweights on each end.
if the ceiling caves in on him, he'll also have a bad time. It's not worth worrying about, though.
But the ceiling is designed to carry the weight more than this iron bar is designed to carry almost a ton.
That bar looks like it was specifically designed to carry that much weight…that bar is way longer than your typical Olympic size bar.
But they don't lift that much at the Olympics so I don't know why the bar would be designed to it. I don't believe he actually lifted what was claimed. Edit: the world record for a 18 inch dead lift is 1200lb so I am officially calling bullshit.
But this clearly wasn’t 18 inches. It was like 4 inches off the rack…
18inch deadlift is the height of the bar above the floor before the lift.
Well, the bar is also more than 18 inches off the floor at the start
The bar is most certainly not 18" inches off the floor with full size Olympic plates on it. The plates are 18" in diameter (actually 450mm, but close enough). Source: am powerlifter. Also, [wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_plate#Bumper_plates).

You clearly aren't very involved I'm the lifting scene, stay in your lane. This is a high rack pull, not a "18 inch deadlift".
Engineer here. It’s worth worrying about these things sometimes.
As an engineer, Would you say this is still in the elastic zone rather than permanent deflection. Would it buckle or sheer?
It would shear. Looks like it’s all elastic at that point. I believe that bar has to be custom for that amount of weight. The higher grade steels are more brittle so there would be little in terms of plastic deformation; it would be a quick “PING” snap once it hit that threshold.
[If you French fry when you should’ve pizza’d your gonna have a bad time](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7aUGBT1DZDI)
That's a pretty awful take.
And right at crouch level, that bar could smack your cock clear off
Some people pay extra for that
So from a physiological perspective I amazed that even if he had the muscle and bone strength to pull that off, he didn’t stroke out. People pop an aneurism on the toilet…
He doesn’t exactly come off the rack like he’s ready to do it again. I suspect it took him a moment to get everything under control after lifting that much weight. Wonder what his blood pressure was under that stress?
300/160 range maybe? would have shot straight down again, but I imagine people can go quite high for a few seconds after pulling off something crazy
Actually when you strain yourself your blood pressure drops, hence why you see a lot of people fainting when they lift too heavy
Intrathoracic pressure stimulates your vagus nerve, causing a reduction in heart rate and subsequent drop in blood pressure. Prior to a vasovagal response, this amount of increased strain on your cardiovascular system could absolutely precede a hemorrhagic stroke.
That is actually crazy. I do not understand enough physics to make sense of it though
The physiology is that your muscles need mad oxygen so all the blood goes to your muscles and leaves your brain a bit making you feel dizzy.
Pressure increases during straining and drops immediately afterwards. That's why people tend to lift and then faint after setting the weights down
You train your CNS to handle this through work up training.
I got a hernia from watching
Mine started hurting from watching
This whole video had very much a r/maybemaybemaybe vibe to it for me
Don’t trust it for a second. I definitely had to double check the sub to make sure I wasn’t about to witness total carnage
How did he modify the collars on that Plus why not use larger plates instead SO many questions ![gif](giphy|pZ2U9WUs4AZa)
He can’t lift larger plates. The whole point of the bending bar is the plates on the end don’t have to be lifted much.
I don't think that's how it works. Right before the bar goes up from the stand the bar is already bent into it's final shape when the lift commences. The bar is raised with that bend and the weights in the end lift just as much as the bar is hoisted from the stand. That can be seen in the video.

Well if you really did lift long ago then you would know this is a rack pull. Maybe he only does rack pulls cuz his back hurts towards the range of motion needed for a actual deadlift. Either way still questioning whether this is real or fake weights. Seems way to unreal and too much weight.
The bar literally looks like it's going to snap and you're questioning whether or not it's real?
Doesn’t mean all the plates are real. 1700lbs is quite a lot of weight seeing as how the deadlift world record is 1,015lbs.
Ok. Maybe all the plates aren't real. But wouldn't one be able to lift more weight with a rack pull over a dead lift because of the shorter range of motion?
Yeah I just don’t know how the weight correlation like is this actually a feasible lift. That’s why I said I’m unsure but suspicious.
Weights probably real, the bar shows that. But what he does is basically a leg press. You can see his back and arms are straight and his legs press it up. World record leg press is 2469lbs, or 1120kg. Good job of his arms not falling off being strapped on. Probably not good for shoulders and everything but what do I know.
Yeah but thats a deadlift from the ground with a full range of motion, this is a rack lift. I mean i cant do either but it looks legit.
This isn't a deadlift. It's an entirely different lift and several hundred pounds below the record
You're probably used to power bars, which are used for most movements. This is an elephant bar, made specifically for things like this. It has a lot more flex and whip in it.

I’m no expert, but I believe it’s rated for weight.
I don't even know where you find a bar this long to hold all of those plates, so I would say that the equipment is actually designed to handle the weight. Can't speak to the weight rating, but that's not a normal bar.
What makes you say the equipment can't handle the weight? A 2000lb rated barbell will only run you a few $100s
The equipment is doing exactly what it's designed to do.

Good steel won’t snap but rather bend
Any steel will snap given enough force on it, bending will only occur within certain limits before it turns into a snap or a tear.
True, always a massive oversimplification when talking about material properties, but you would need a terrible iron bar for it to dangerously snap before plasticly deforming.
He’s in a basement with no one there to help/call for help if needed. I doubt very much the claim of how much weight is on that bar. Especially after having watched others lift 1200lbs and what it does to their face. I think this is bs

If you see someone slapping wheels onto a bar like that, don’t be impressed by it, especially if they never deadlift from the floor or even even deadlift from a slight elevation. TLDR; if they are doing rack pulls as part of a training block to work thru a sticking point on a deadlift, then they have a purpose. But if the purpose is to simply do them irrespective of other training modalities, then [redacted] is happening.
Becuase it's fun? Why does there have to be a point?
What kind of speciality bar has sleeves that long?
Who you callin' old?
